Olsen Pierre
Player News
Pierre was signed by the Raiders on Wednesday.
Pierre appeared in the first nine contests of the season with the Giants before ultimately being let go in early November, but he'll now provide depth at defensive end in Oakland. During his nine-game span with the Giants, Pierre compiled eight tackles (seven solo) and two sacks.
The Giants waived Pierre on Saturday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
The Giants needed to strengthen their offensive line depth due to injuries, and Pierre was the roster casualty as a result. He is a prime candidate to revert to the team's practice squad should he end up going unclaimed off waivers.
Pierre recorded one sack across 16 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
The defensive tackle now has two tackles on the season and there's no doubt this one had to be sweet against his former team. Pierre was in concussion protocol all week before being cleared to play in the contest. He'll now shift his focus to Sunday's showdown with the Lions.
Pierre cleared the concussion protocol and should play Sunday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Pierre was seen by an independent doctor and received the expected clearance. He'll continue to fill in as needed on the defensive line.
